Summary of Industry Experience

Marketing

As a Blogger Pool ghostwriter, Ellie has written hundreds of "informational advertising" blogs. Some of those, as B2B blogs, were overtly on the topic of advertising--while others included "soft sells" or a call to action integrated into an informational blog post.

Ellie also handles complete email advertising campaigns, online surveys, and newsletters for both The Kitchen Connection and Oak Hill Farm--the former a locally-owned independent kitchen store, the latter her family's sustainable farm, which she runs with her husband.

Health

In her ghost-blogging work for The Blogger Pool, the blogging arm of Splash Media, Ellie has written health-related articles (some quite detailed and even jargon-laden) for orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, medical insurance providers, claims specialists, HR/worker's comp specialists, medical software providers, yoga studios, and doctors' offices. She also writes under her own name on the health benefits and practices of yoga and meditation.

High Tech

Ellie M. ghostwrites technological blogs for Splash Media's Blogger Pool, technological pieces for multiple c-suite online content clearinghouses, all content (not webdesign) for Linked Media's iPadCaseReviews.com. Her advanced graduate-level experience with GIS and GPS, her daily exposure to green technology through her sustainably-run family farm, and her daily work with html and online content positions her to write on a wide range of technological topics.

Career

Ellie has ghostwritten blogs for two years through The Blogger Pool (blogging arm of Splash Media); articles on sleep and professionalism on latexmattress.org (pen name Michelle Gordon); Suite101 green business profiles; and green jobs articles on earthandeconomy.com. All projects ongoing; # of paid projects growing daily.

Garden

As a sustainable farmer and gardener, Ellie lives what she writes every day. Her historic Tennessee Century Farm boasts chickens, hogs, and goats (along with two family/farm dogs). Her family lives a green lifestyle and farms using organic/sustainable practices; they sell their vegetables on a CSA model and pork on a hogshare basis. She writes a range of "citizen journalist" articles on gardening and farming topics under her own name for Examiner.com, Suite101, eHow.com, and others, as well as many green living articles for latexmattress.org and several guest blogs under the pen name "Michelle Gordon".

Outdoor/Recreation

All projects were ghostwritten posts for The Blogger Pool (the blogging arm of Splash Media) on local outings and events, both indoor and outdoor. Outdoor-related posts included "winery tours" and a range of detailed information on local national parks and forests for multiple businesses in multiple parts of the country.

Green Products

Ellie is a freelance writer for PlushBeds, Latexmattress.org, EarthAndEconomy.com, and NaturalAwakenings, among others. She writes on green living, sustainability, and economies of scale. As of October 2012 she is Examiner.com's Memphis Sustainable Living Examiner. Ellie lives what she writes, working on a small, historic family farm using the principles of sustainable agriculture and living in an antebellum farmhouse built in the 1830s.

Education

Ellie has ghostwritten for multiple tutoring establishments and schools through The Blogger Pool, the blogging arm of Splash Media. As an academic with a Master's degree, five years toward her Ph.D., and a distinguished record of teaching assistantships during higher education, she has direct experience in college-level instruction and research experience in K-12 education.

Medical

Ellie's medical content work stretches across several companies and websites. She ghostwrites for a medical malpractice insurance provider, has ghostwritten for multiple clients geared to attract c-suite readers on workers' compensation claims management, and has addressed technological ways to maximize system efficiency while minimizing claims costs.

She has also written all content for an educational Diabetes-related site:

Green Living

As a sustainable farmer and homesteader, Ellie lives a green lifestyle every day--and she writes what she knows. Her functional, historic family farm is dedicated to sustainable practices indoors and out. She writes what she works, with a range of "citizen journalist" articles on green living topics to her name as well as many green articles for latexmattress.org and several guest blogs under the pen name "Michelle Gordon".

Fashion

As a ghostwriter and citizen journalist, Ellie is often tasked with writing articles on a wide range of fashion topics. Fashion wraps itself around multiple other industries, from technology to entertainment to manufacturing. Ellie excels especially in writing on the history of fashion or the intersection of fashion and technology.

Green Services

In her ongoing ghostwriting position with The Blogger Pool (the blogging arm of Splash Media), Ellie has written for multiple clients concerned with exploring or exploding the "green meme" that's taking our business and personal worlds by storm. She has also done multiple green business profiles, including the sample below.

Entertainment

Ellie occasionally writes "citizen journalism" pieces on the entertainment industry, and has a long history with The Blogger Pool (the blogging arm of Splash Media) supplying entertainment- and current-events-related topics to a range of industries, from fashion to technology to medical care. Entertainment pieces can be simple and straightforward or complicated and analytical, as the topic and the audience demands.

Spirituality

As a woman; raised Christian; who explored New Age philosophy as a teen and is now a dedicated yoga practitioner, meditator, and student of Tibetan Buddhism who attends a Quaker church in Memphis with her family, Ellie understands a broad range of the spiritual currents and undertows that surround American life today. She writes on meditation, yoga, and spiritualism as a ghostwriter and a citizen journalist under her own name, as well as for latexmattress.org under the pen name Michelle Gordon, all on an ongoing basis.
